Example: Configuring an ESI on a Logical Interface With EVPN-MPLS Multihoming
When a customer edge (CE) device in an Ethernet VPN-Multiprotocol Label Switching (EVPN-MPLS) environment is multihomed to two or more provider edge (PE) devices, the set of Ethernet links that connect the devices comprise an Ethernet segment. An Ethernet segment identifier (ESI) is a 10-octet integer that identifies this segment. A sample ESI is 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99.
In releases before Junos OS Release 15.1F6 and 16.1R4 for MX Series routers and in releases before Junos OS Release 17.3R1 for EX9200 switches, you can specify an ESI only on a physical or aggregated Ethernet interface, for example, set interfaces ae0 esi 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99. If you specify an ESI on a physical or aggregated Ethernet interface, keep in mind that an ESI is a factor in the designated forwarder (DF) election process. For example, assume that you configure EVPN multihoming active-standby on aggregated Ethernet interface ae0, and given the ESI configured on ae0 and other determining factors, the DF election results in ae0 being in the down state. Further, all logical interfaces configured on ae0, for example, set interfaces ae0 unit 1 and set interfaces ae0 unit 2 are also in the down state, which renders logical interfaces ae0.1 and ae0.2 unable to provide services to their respective customer sites (VLANs).
Starting with Junos OS Releases 15.1F6 and 16.1R4 for MX Series routers and Junos OS Release 17.3R1 for EX9200 switches, you can specify an ESI on a logical interface. If you specify an ESI on a logical interface, the DF election process now occurs at the individual logical interface level, which enables you to better utilize logical interfaces. For example, assume that you configure logical interfaces ae0.1 and ae0.2 on aggregated Ethernet interface ae0. You configure EVPN multihoming active-standby on both logical interfaces and given the ESI configured on ae0.1 and other determining factors, the DF election results in ae0.1 being in the down state. Despite logical interface ae0.1 being down, logical interface ae0.2 and other logical interfaces configured on ae0 can be in the up state and provide services to their respective customer sites (VLANs).
This topic shows how to configure an ESI on logical interfaces in both EVPN multihoming active-standby and active-active modes.
We support active-standby multihoming in EVPN fabrics only with MPLS.
QFX Series switches support EVPN-VXLAN with active-active multihoming; they don't support EVPN with MPLS or multihoming in active-standby mode.
Requirements
Both EVPN multihoming active-standby and multihoming active-active examples use the following hardware and software components:
An EX9200 switch running Junos OS Release 17.3R1 or later (PE1)
An MX Series router running Junos OS Release 15.1F6 or later, or Junos OS Release 17.1R1 or later (PE2)
Overview and Topology
EVPN Multihoming Active-Standby
Figure 1 shows an EVPN-MPLS topology in which CE1 is multihomed to PE1 and PE2 to provide redundant paths to CE2. On CE1, the connections to PE1 and PE2 are configured as separate aggregated Ethernet interfaces. Table 1 shows how the connections with CE1 are configured on PE1 and PE2. Note that the EVPN multihoming mode, ESI, and VLAN ID are actually configured on logical interfaces ae0.1 on each PE device.
Device | Physical Interface | Aggregated Ethernet Interface | Logical Interface | EVPN Multihoming Mode | ESI | VLAN ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PE1 | xe-2/0/0 | ae0 | ae0.1 | single-active | 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99 | 1 |
PE2 | xe-3/0/2 | ae0 | ae0.1 | single-active | 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99 | 1 |
Based on the DF election, logical interface ae0.1 on PE2 is up, and logical interface ae0.1 on PE1 is down.
Table 2 also shows the configuration for logical interface ae0.2 on PE1. Note that logical interface ae0.2 provides services for a different VLAN and is configured with a different ESI than logical interface ae0.1, which is configured on the same aggregated Ethernet interface. As a result, logical interface ae0.2 is up and providing services to VLAN 2 despite the fact that logical interface ae0.1 is in the down state.
Device | Physical Interface | Aggregated Ethernet Interface | Logical Interface | EVPN Multihoming Mode | ESI | VLAN ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PE1 | xe-2/0/0 | ae0 | ae0.2 | single-active | 00:22:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99 | 2 |
EVPN Multihoming Active-Active
Figure 2 shows an EVPN-MPLS topology in which CE1 is multihomed to PE1 and PE2 to provide redundant paths to CE2. On CE1, the connections to PE1 and PE2 are configured as one aggregated Ethernet interface. Table 3 shows how the connections with CE1 are configured on PE1 and PE2. Note that the EVPN multihoming mode, ESI, and VLAN ID are actually configured on logical interfaces ae0.1 on each device.
Device | Physical Interface | Aggregated Ethernet Interface | Logical Interface | EVPN Multihoming Mode | ESI | VLAN ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PE1 | xe-2/0/0 | ae0 | ae0.1 | all-active | 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99 | 1 |
PE2 | xe-3/0/2 | ae0 | ae0.1 | all-active | 00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99 | 1 |
Based on the DF election, logical interface ae0.1 on PE1 is in the up state, and logical interface ae0.1 on PE2 is in the down state.
Table 4 also shows the configuration for logical interface ae0.2 on PE1. Note that logical interface ae0.2 provides services for a different VLAN and is configured with a different ESI than logical interface ae0.1, which is in the same aggregated Ethernet interface. As a result, logical interface ae0.2 is down and unable to provide services to VLAN 2 despite the fact that logical interface ae0.1 is in the up state.
Device | Physical Interface | Aggregated Ethernet Interface | Logical Interface | EVPN Multihoming Mode | ESI | VLAN ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
PE1 | xe-2/0/0 | ae0 | ae0.2 | all-active | 00:22:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99 | 2 |
